Chapter 70 Supplementing the Regular Team
"Furthermore, regarding the replenishment of the main team, there are currently only two people from the Inner Academy who meet the age requirement for the competition, and their strength is far inferior to that of the Seven Devils—although Lin Feng has not yet officially entered the Inner Academy, with his current Soul King level strength, I think I don't need to say more. I propose that he be exceptionally allowed to join the Shrek Academy main team for this competition."
When Yan Shaozhe said this, the conference hall seemed to fall silent for a moment.
Almost simultaneously, the gazes of the elders, filled with scrutiny and consideration, all focused on Lin Feng.
Although Lin Feng is exceptionally talented, there are too many uncontrollable factors surrounding him. First, he refused the Extreme Individual Soldier Program, and then he disappeared for a long time without explanation, missing the reserve team selection.
Being selected as a regular member of the Soul Fighting Tournament is not much different from being chosen as one of the Shrek Seven Devils. Both represent the highest recognition and honor that inner court students of Shrek Academy can obtain, symbolizing strength, potential, and character. Historically, they have all required rigorous selection and numerous trials.
Under the scrutinizing gazes, some inquiring, some approving, and some scrutinizing, Lin Feng, who had been listening silently, slowly raised his head.
His face showed no excitement or flattery that one would expect when someone is so highly regarded; his expression was unusually calm, even revealing a calmness that suggested he had already thought things through.
"I can participate."
"But I regret to inform you that the Tang Sect has been disbanded under Tang Ya's decision, and I later joined the Body Sect. If you mind, I can choose not to participate." He met the gazes of the elders, his tone calm and frank. "Regarding the addition of a regular team member, I have a recommended candidate, and that is Tang Ya, who came back with me."
Lin Feng's voice was not loud, but every word was clear, echoing in the quiet conference hall.
He paused briefly to let everyone hear the name, then continued, "Previously, in the finals of the fourth-grade end-of-year assessment, she defeated the team led by Bei Bei head-on, winning the championship and advancing to the fifth grade. Now, her soul power has reached level fifty-five, and she has successfully absorbed a fifth soul ring from the Ten-Thousand-Year Azure Phosphorous Nine-Absolute Flower. With her current strength, she is fully qualified and capable of serving as a regular member of the team, and is by no means inferior to any of the Soul Kings of the Shrek Seven Devils."
A brief silence fell over the meeting room. Several senior members exchanged glances, their expressions revealing a wealth of information.
Lin Feng, Yan Shaozhe's personal disciple, joins the Body Sect; the changes in the Tang Sect; and the emergence of Tang Ya, this dark horse—
After a moment, Yan Shaozhe spoke first, his voice regaining its usual composure: "Okay. I know about Tang Ya's situation. Since she is strong enough now, she can join the main team to fill the vacancy."
Regarding the matter of the Body Sect, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion present all remained tight-lipped and did not delve into it further.
Soon, the resolution to add Lin Feng and Tang Ya to the main team was passed unanimously.
The final list of participants has been finalized. Although the main team doesn't have enough members (7 in total), they can still compete.
"Shao Zhe, if there are no other issues, let's conclude today's meeting here." Mu En, seated at the head of the table, slowly spoke, bringing the meeting to a close. However, his gaze turned to Lin Feng. "Lin Feng, please stay behind. I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately."
"Yes, Elder Mu," Lin Feng replied.
The elders rose and left one after another, their footsteps fading into the distance.
The heavy doors closed gently, leaving only Mu En and Lin Feng in the vast Poseidon Pavilion conference hall.
"The disbandment of the Tang Sect was within my expectations. Your choice to join the Body Sect was an unavoidable path, and I don't blame you." Mu En's voice was gentle, revealing no emotion. His eyes, seemingly able to see into people's hearts, quietly looked at Lin Feng. "I want to know, what exactly happened between you and that girl Tang Ya during this time?"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, knowing that some things could not be hidden from this unfathomable Sea God Pavilion Master, but there was no need to reveal everything.
He organized his thoughts and said, half-truthfully, "We were lucky, thanks to your map, we entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Based on the Ice and Fire Token contract between the Tang Sect and the immortal herbs inside, Tang Ya and I obtained the essence of two 100,000-year-old immortal herbs. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the Blue Silver Emperor; we only got a little information that it might be in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Because Tang Ya is the sect leader, she was exceptionally granted a soul ring from a 10,000-year-old Jade Phosphorous Nine Absolute Flower."
He omitted the many dangers and specific details, only pointing out the results: "One of the two portions of the immortal herbs was a flaming glue, which has already been used on Sister Peach. The other portion came from the Qiluo Tulip."
Mentioning the Qiluo Tulip, he paused. This news was destined to be out of the question, so he decided to be frank: "I intend to give this one to Ning Tian. She is the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and this immortal herb might be able to help her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul—"
It evolved into the Nine-Treasured Glazed Pagoda, replicating the miracle of the Nine-Colored Goddess of yesteryear.
A look of understanding flashed across Moon's eyes. He nodded slightly and did not ask for details.
"After that, Tang Ya went to settle the score with the Iron Blood Sect," Lin Feng continued, his tone calm, but Mu En could hear the bloodshed in his voice. "She single-handedly wiped out the entire Iron Blood Sect. But the matter didn't end there. After we left, we lured out a Holy Spirit Cult evil soul master who was hiding in the shadows. He was quite powerful, at the Soul Douluo level."
"At the critical moment, Senior Poison Undying from the Body Sect appeared and killed that evil soul master." Lin Feng said, then looked up at Mu En, "Afterwards, he captured Tang Ya and me and brought us back to the Body Sect—"
Mu En listened quietly until Lin Feng finished speaking, then slowly said, "I see. If you can't keep up with the development of soul tools, the Tang Sect's legacy will come to an end. It's not your fault or Tang Ya's. Shrek Academy cannot follow in the Tang Sect's footsteps. You must also pay more attention to soul tools in the future."
He didn't comment on whether Tang Ya's revenge was right or wrong, nor did he ask about the details of Lin Feng joining the Body Sect. He simply connected these key pieces of information and seemed to understand most of it.
"There was a considerable entanglement between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy, as you are probably aware of." Mu En's voice was lower, carrying the weight of years. He sighed softly, as if his sigh contained many unspoken past events.
"Back then, I fought against Poison Immortal's elder brother, the former sect leader of the Body Sect, Poison Must-Kill. In the end, we were both severely injured. He damaged my very essence, breaking my spine. What's more, his domineering innate poison invaded the depths of my meridians. Although I survived, my back will never be able to stand straight again—"
"Of course, the Body Sect has also joined forces with Shrek Academy to eradicate evil soul masters and resist the beast tide. This camaraderie forged in battle is also real." Mu En's gaze deepened, as if he could see those figures relying on each other amidst the smoke and blood. "I hope that in the future, you can become the bridge connecting the two sides."
He paused, looked at Lin Feng, and said in a solemn and clear tone: "Whether it is the Body Sect or Shrek Academy, our greatest and common enemy on this continent will always be those evil soul masters."
"I understand, I will keep it in mind." Lin Feng nodded solemnly and replied in a deep voice, meeting Mu En's deep and expectant gaze.
